Books by Faith Gardner

Vera Rivers' life is split in two: before her twin sister Ava disappeared 12 years ago and after. The case made headlines, shocked Vera's community and turned her family into tragic celebrities. Now, at 18, Vera is counting down the days until she starts her new life at college. But all that changes when a girl shows up at the local hospital. Her name is Ava Rivers and she wants to go home. Ava's return begins to mend the fractures in the Rivers family. But the questions remain: Where was Ava all these years? And who is she now?

Sure, Arielle won't deny that she has a vivid, even wild, imagination. Sure, it sometimes runs away with her. And yes, it's true that she never recovered from the drowning death of her older brother, Justin, ten years ago, when Arielle was a little child. She almost hopes that ghosts are real, so that she might see Justin again. But ever since the misty morning when Arielle stumbles on the macabre sight of the body of her sister Casey's best friend, Perdita, being lifted from a nearby pond, ghostly images begin to appear to Arielle.
